Some influential literary writers take an interest in perfecting their writing skills at realistic portrayal of their characters with certain choice of words in order to achieve a unique effect on the readers.

Therefore, in this Research Paper, I argue that James Joyce's way of writing in The Dead is the reflection of his life experiences and perspectives on the history of Ireland through the personality of the character Gabriel Conroy.
